How soon after getting zoanthids from a shipment can I do a peroxide dip?

[Chris86]

I just got an awesome frag pack for a great deal. Some of the frags have significant hair algae though. How long would you guys wait to do a dip?

Also, what is the recommended ratio of water to peroxide?

What is the reason for peroxide?

Some of the frags have hai algae that I can't get to mechanically to scrub off.

I'd just use a dropper and drop the H2O2 on the algae directly.

So you drop pure H202 on the zoa plug and then what? How long do you let it sit there? Do you rinse before putting back in tank? How long before do you see results?

Yep, just drop it on the algae. 10 seconds should do it. Then just back in the tank.
